Dist wiring help (carb swap)

I done a search and read the article on TBI to Carb but, I need help on wiring. Okay I get the part on wiring it the pink wire to the BATT and the White to the TACH on the cap, but where do the other ends/connecter go, since the tbi coil is no longer needed right?

Also where does the wires that use to go to the other female spot on the coil go now?

I'm very confused.

Thanks guys..I suck at wiring.

the only thing you need to hook up are the pink and wite wires in the connector from the harness, all the other are for the computer

ok, remove the TBI distributor, remove the TBI coil, there is a 2 wire harness that goes between the two, you do not need this, there will be 2 connectors that went to the TBI dist.(at the bottom of the cap, in back), these, leavfe hanging, tape up, ect., they are not needed., then, there is one more connector that went to the TBI coil, it comes right out of the harness, this has a pink wire(might be pink with a black stripe) and a white wire(might have a stripe), these are the ones you need, pink to BATT and white to TACH
